So the Octobugfest show in Puyallup is coming, I think it is the next show close by, are there any others?

Anyway, who is planning on going? We are going down for sure.

Any suggestions for the weekend?

You definitely dont want to stay long enough to let the locals know your there, and dont drink the water down there.

If it is anything like springmeet, I question if it is worth the gas to go down :blink:

We went to the fall show last year as well as the spring one and we found that the Fall show was better, better showing of air-cooled's better swap. I was quite dissappointed by the Spring show personally.

I'll be there as usual.  It's only about 25 minutes from my house.  I agree the Springmeet was lame.  The only good thing was  seeing a few old friends.  Oh and the beer lunch up the street at the Ram.. Actually I'm going there to day for the fair too.  Tim

What's a brother going to do, being from the T.O and all...???  Would it make a difference if I was a Flames fan?

Probably equally as bad I'm sure...
